Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 397

Chapter 397

Before getting into the car, Ambrose sent a text to Belle.

Although he wasn’t sure if she had blocked his number again.

At that moment, Belle was at a dessert shop with Eliza, indulging in something sweet.

It was her habit.

Whenever she was feeling down, she craved something sugary.

So Eliza had specially brought her here.

As she dug into her third dessert, her phone rang.

It was a message from Ambrose.

When Belle saw the number, she remembered that she had forgotten to block him again.

She opened the message and said to Eliza, “Let’s see what bullshit Dog Quinn is spewing now.”

After reading it, she scoffed, “As expected, more bullshit!”

Eliza asked, “What does it say?”

Belle read it out loud, “Lilith has never been the issue between us. If you’re willing, I’ll immediately transfer 5% of Quinn Group’s shares to your

name, and the divorce matter will be settled. No one will bring it up again.”

Eliza snorted. “Well, that’s definitely bullshit!”

5% of the shares was indeed a huge sum, enough to buy a lot of people.

But he didn’t understand Belle at all.

Not even Eliza understood her as well as she did.

Belle’s ideal life had always been to be a carefree “gold–digger,” living off enough money to get by.

What Ambrose thought was an irresistible offer was worth nothing in Belle’s eyes.

She put down her dessert spoon and quickly typed a reply to Ambrose, then, without hesitation, blocked his number again.

After locking her phone, she continued to enjoy her dessert, without a care in the world.

Meanwhile, the car had just started, and Ambrose received Belle’s reply almost immediately.

Seeing her reply so quickly, Ambrose relaxed, thinking she had probably seen his offer and was willing to make peace.

But when he opened the message, his face immediately darkened again.

Throughout this exchange, Lilith had been closely watching Ambrose’s expression.

She knew the message was from Belle, and when she saw Ambrose’s brows relax as he read it, she felt a pang of unease.

She didn’t like Ambrose focusing on Belle.

As she pondered how to redirect his attention, she saw his face turn cold.

She quickly asked. “Ambrose, what happened? Was it a message from my cousin? What did she say?”

Ambrose didn’t answer immediately. His face remained dark as he typed a response to Belle.

He asked her. “Where’s your manners?”

At this moment. Lilith saw the message Belle sent.

It was only simple words:

(If you’re sick, get treatment. If not, go die. Don’t bother me!]

Lilith felt a little relieved and subtly smiled.

Her cousin really didn’t understand men at all.

What man would like a woman with such a fiery temper?

Her doing this would only push Ambrose further away.

Of course, this was exactly what Lilith wanted–this would give her the chance to step in.

“Ambrose, don’t be angry at my cousin. She’s always been blunt with her words. My dad has been troubled by her since she was a child. When

she was in school, she was constantly in trouble with the teachers, and my dad had to discipline her more strictly. That’s when she started to

dislike my dad and spread rumors about him, saying he treated her badly. It’s really a headache.”

“Ultimately, it’s my dad’s fault for not educating her well.”

Ambrose frowned. “It’s her personality issue. You’ve all tried your best.”

“This time, I think my cousin is really angry. If you want, you can stay in New York and try to calm her down. I can go back by myself.” Lilith said, trying to be understanding.

She had barely finished speaking when Ada, sitting in the front seat, spoke up anxiously, “But there are a lot of reporters waiting at the airport in North City If you’re not there, they’ll definitely make things difficult for you.”

Ambrose frowned. “We should take you back first. She still has friends, and you only have me.”

“What about my cousin?”

“She’s still angry She won’t listen to anything I say right now.” Ambrose rubbed his temple, exhausted.

Laith sighed Tm worried that Mr Nicolas will take advantage of the situation. The way he looked at my cousin earlier was definitely not

ordinary

This made Ambrose pause for a moment

Then, in a frustrated tone, he replied, “You’re overthinking it She’s clearly trying to make me jealous by getting close to Nicolas. I’ve seen it all

before.”

He wasn’t going to indulge her

There should be a limit to her antics.

For now, he’d leave her to cool off, hoping that she would come to her senses.

After Belle finished her desserts, she returned to the hotel and slept for two days straight.

Once Eliza was sure she was fine, she turned her attention to her own mess.

As for what mess

She didn’t even want to bring it up.

It had been almost three days since the incident, and there was still no movement from Calvin.

It was nothing like before, when he would deliberately show up in front of her to get attention.

Had he given up?

If so, it was actually a good thing.

But the events of that night still troubled Eliza.

She was worried that if things weren’t clarified, it might cause more problems later.

In the end, Eliza decided to call Calvin, wanting to talk things through in person.

The call connected, but no one answered.

Eliza frowned, watching the call drop after several rings.

Her mood became restless.

She tried sending him a message:
